The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into antiquity, in fact as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, these, ancient recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few ancient tablets in Sumerian which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel `wonderful`. Closer to modern times, we have two interesting cookery books published in the 1300s : a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these books are nothing to do with the indian food that appears on menues today, but rather accounts of the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the upper classes of those days. During the succeeding few centuries, the rich families of Europe tried to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and as a result cooks and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe publications rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
